Chapter 469: Twenty Years of Seclusion, Children’s Journey to the Nascent Soul
The Four Symbols Underground Palace was completely silent.
Looking at the tomb of bones with tombstones already erected, Xu Yutang, who was already middle-aged, was sitting in front of the door, holding a gourd of wine in his hand, because this was his nineteenth uncle Xu Yuming's favorite way, to hold wine in a gourd for eternity.
But he had been in seclusion for twenty years, and the whole Xu family had changed greatly due to the changes in the world.
Jindan Zhenren has become the realm of Xu Zhongjian's generation, and those with outstanding qualifications, such as Xu Yuming's children, have now entered the Nascent Soul realm. The Xu clan has multiplied to millions, and all of them have He is a direct descendant.
Nowadays, the Xu family in Yannan and the Xu family in Yandang Mountain have merged into one clan. The family headquarters is located in the old house in Yandang Mountain. The huge ancient black stone domain now belongs to the back garden of the Xu family. However, in order to protect the Five Beasts Sect, the Xu family did not The Blackstone Ancient Territory announced its occupation, but only occupied the Wubu River, Lantaoshan and other places outside.
Disciples within the clan will choose to practice in places surrounded by fairies.
"Uncle Nineteen, now only the Qi Refining clan members of our clan can practice in Tao County, but the Five Beasts Sect has decided to reward us with the entire Yuzhou. The clansmen who have no potential are now serving in various places. I was lucky enough to get something. As a state steward, I will stay with you until your old age within the secret realm of Xuanjing Lake."
"Uncle Nineteen, the members of the Foundation Establishment clan are all practicing in the Blackstone Ancient Territory, especially those who want to make progress, they will go to the Endless Sword Territory. The sword cultivators there still maintain the ancient rules of sword holding ceremony and duel, many All the clan members were harmed there.”
"Now the person in charge of the Endless Sword Territory is the Great Elder Hongxiu. She has become the master of Beizhen Pass. She has reached the golden elixir perfection state. She has figured out the fourth sword move and is about to be crowned king. I heard that her cloud water sword intention is still the same as before. I figured it out when I was discussing swords with you."
"As for the Zifu monks, most of them like to open caves to practice in various fairy mountains and blessed places in the Black Stone Ancient Territory."
"As for golden elixirs, we don't have many in our clan, but they are all in the fifth-level spiritual land."
"There are currently five Nascent Souls in the clan."
"One of them is Yu Zhen, who is going to the business world. He is your youngest son. You have two remaining daughters. They are both Jindan now. Xu Yuwei and Xu Yuyue are now practicing on the island in the middle of the lake. They have the earth spirit root qualifications. Sure enough, the ancestors said that the two of them have the opportunity to be great monks of Nascent Soul, and they are also good at joint attack. Hundreds of years from now, I, Mr. Xu, will also have the existence of these two great monks who are comparable to the top great monks, and they will be stable. Family status.”
"Yuzhen, accompanied by Yan Bing and Black Dragon Patriarch, quickly earned his first pot of gold, almost 1 million spiritual crystals. He is much richer than you back then."
"In the business world, he is a well-known philanthropist. By giving out porridge and doing good deeds, he gathered hundreds of millions of refugees from various countries. In the end, he was punished. It was the Black Dragon Patriarch who took action and shocked the cultivators for him."
"After he founded the Xu Business Alliance, he accumulated 10 billion spiritual jade in his hands in just over ten years. He can be said to be extremely wealthy."
"A few more top monks took action. This time, they were killed by Divine Lord Kunwu. Our Xu family has controlled half of the business domain. When he came back last year, he was chatting and laughing with me, and his face was glowing. It was different. She's just a little fat, and I can't weigh more than 200 pounds."
Feeling that there was no fluctuation in the depths of the underground palace, Xu Yutang had already drank half of the wine gourd.
"Xu Yuling is the most talented. The last one to challenge the entire Endless Sword Domain was Ji Yun. He was the Samsara Sword King of Nanjian Pass. Now he is already in the Nascent Soul realm, the fourth step sword king, Ting Mu Sang Sword King. Said, this one is very likely to be the next fifth-step sword king to emerge from the Endless Sword Realm."
"As for the Lu Hengyun you are optimistic about, he is trapped in the Golden Elixir Dzogchen. I asked Senior Mu Sang, and he said that this kid is enlightening... What kind of enlightenment can he attain in the Golden Elixir stage?"
"Yu Ling is now at the peak of the Golden Core. After Gongshu Jian achieved the fifth step of the Mountain Sword King, he has taken over the position of the Young Master of the Five Beasts Sect. His cultivation has also reached the Golden Core Perfection, and he has the strength of the Nascent Soul. , as long as he breaks through, he may be the new leader of the Five Beast Sect."
"And Yu Ling will be the only direct disciple of the sect master from now on. When she was wandering in the Sanxiu Sea, she once encountered a sea-shattering sharp-mouthed shark. It was the first time she entered the fifth level, and she was killed by her Void Sword Technique."
"But they also offended the shark clan, and sent out more than a dozen fifth-level monks to chase them. Finally, they were so scared that they retreated in front of Wantao Island, but I guess they will not give up."
"Later, they did not act rashly, so I asked Divine Lord Kunwu to leave a Kunpeng mark on Yu Ling. As long as she is in any danger, the mark can be directly shattered. Kunpeng Demon Saint's escape speed is unparalleled in the world. In an instant, hundreds of millions of He spreads his wings and flies over here, and within a few breaths, he can save Yu Ling."
"The two great elders, Bone Fire and Liu Heng, seemed to have found an opportunity after the destruction of the Sea of Bones. The great elder Bone Fire transformed his body into a corpse puppet and turned it into the peak of the fifth level. Now he is an elder of our Penglai Alliance. , Titled Ghoul."
"Elder Liu Hengda is now a fifth-level high-grade weapon refiner. He seems to have received the inheritance of the sixth-level weapon refiner in the Sea of Bones. He is now also a popular weapon refiner in the alliance, and his cultivation has climbed to the second level of Nascent Soul."
"The last Nascent Soul is Xu Yanbing. He is just a top-grade spiritual root. He got a spiritual root grass in the Shang Domain. After swallowing it, he became a top-grade golden spiritual root. He has a lot of cultivation resources in the Shang Domain. He already has Yuan Ying. The fourth level of Infant Realm, and our Xu clan, as well as the Yandang Sect monks, have also sent tens of thousands of people to the Shang Domain. Given time, this branch of the Shang Domain will definitely not be weaker than ours in the Black Stone Ancient Domain and the Endless Sword. Those tribesmen who have experienced the domain."
"As for whether you care about whether they have a family, they have already started a family now. Xu Yurui and Xu Yufeng, who are at the top of Jindan, already have children. Xu Yurui even gave birth to a pair of twins, which made Aunt Nineteen very happy."
"On the other hand, Xu Yuling has many monks pursuing her, but she doesn't like any of them. Just saying "You must be like my father" scared away countless monks."
"Hahaha……"
Xu Yutang stood up and shook the wine gourd in his hand. "Drink up the wine. Uncle Nineteen, I will leave now and come to see you next year."
After taking a few steps, his aura at the peak of the Zifu dissipated, "My life may be over here. The turtle beast pill invented by the clan was inspired by the spirit turtle clan in Xuanjing Lake. Refined from blood, the yield is not high, and it can also extend the life of the Zifu monks for 150 years. When Uncle Nineteen comes out of seclusion, he should still be able to see me."
"In the past... the third uncle must have been the one who tipped off the news. He was half-way through building the foundation, and you sat back and watched him die alone. Many people in the clan were a little bit dissatisfied at first, thinking that you were not nostalgic for the past. In fact, you are Give his descendants the face to live, otherwise I guess Yang Guangxu and the others will probably be expelled from the family."
"It's a pity. In the past, these guys really worked so hard for training resources? Even if it is the interests of the family and the brothers in the clan, they can completely ignore it, but it is clear that when we are together, we are so close."
"Aunt Yuyan is now at the same level as me. She is in charge of the inner clan. However, the ancestor of Tuhe, who is at the peak of the Golden Core, is now in charge. I think that a few hundred years after coming to my Xu family, how many great monks should there be?" I don’t know when I was able to truly stand at the top of the Sanxiu Sea. Now the Xu Clan relies entirely on you to take charge. As long as you don’t fall, no one in the outside world will dare to underestimate us.”
"It's just that the Penglai Alliance... has not been in good condition in recent years."
"Wind Controlling God Lord was seriously injured when he fought against Tenglong Linhai, the Sand Ox Demon Saint of the Sea Shark Clan. Even the Turtle Beast Pill refined by Senior Old Turtle in the Lake could only keep him alive. Twenty years, even now, there are only a few years left to live."
"Now God Lord Kunwu is still in the sea of cultivation, and Demon Saint Kunpeng has disappeared. On Penglai Island, those sect forces have produced several independent gods in the past ten or twenty years, and they have taken over the authority. , ready to take charge of the Penglai Alliance with the Penglai Island group of cultivators."
"If another senior incarnation of the god from the Palace of Inquiry is not born, once the Lord Wind God takes his seat, I'm afraid no one will be able to support the situation."
At this point, Xu Yutang has already jumped into the air with the inherited spiritual weapon. Under his feet is the ninety-nine red sand soul gourd.
"Shua"
After he returned to Dongzhou, he took the initiative to go to Linhu Courtyard. After visiting Xu Yuming in the underground palace, he had to go to Aunt Nineteen to pay a visit before leaving.
I didn't see a beggar sitting on the overpass at this time. He was holding a bamboo pole and beating the bridge piers rhythmically.
"Go, go, old beggar, let's play."
"Don't stand here and make noise. If you offend the nobles in this city, aren't you afraid that your soul will be driven to pieces?"
The old beggar closed his eyes and didn't hear anything, and just stretched his body on the edge of the bridge. The officer scolding him next to him was worried that he would fall, but the old beggar actually fell asleep leaning on the edge of the bridge.
Just this hand shocked them. They looked at him for a while and then left. After all, the other party did not continue to make noise, and they had no reason to drive him away.
"Mother, give this beggar a few coins."
"good."
A passing little girl with two pigtails threw three copper plates to herself, and then took back another one. "I'm sorry, I miscalculated. The sugar-coated haws now cost two copper plates each. I have to take it." Go back and buy one to try, otherwise it means nothing if I come out."
With that said, she already stepped on her embroidered shoes and trotted away.
"Bing'er, let's go." The woman in front of her, who was as handsome as the jasper next door, smiled and picked her up, then walked away and disappeared into the crowd.
The old beggar then lowered his head and glanced at the copper plate in the bowl, his eyes a little complicated.
"Click"
The next moment, a beggar rushed by on the roadside and snatched away his coins and even his things.
However, the old beggar just stared at the running beggar as he walked away. The beggar was not even taller than his waist, and there were two little heads sticking out from behind the bridge when he didn't chase him.
"Xiao Na, Ada, come here quickly, I picked up two copper plates."
"Brother, you stole it. I saw it. You even took away other people's bowls."
"You deserve it. Who made this old beggar's bowl intact? The three of us only use a broken bowl. Even if we go to the river to fetch water, we can't scoop out much."
"Let's go, let's go buy hot buns to eat."
"You can only buy two coins with two coins, brother."
"Then you two can take one. If I really want to eat, just let me take a bite."
"good."
The old beggar narrowed his eyes and stared at the three figures in the distance.
"Here, fresh hot buns."
"Sister Ding Yao, I want two pork-filled ones with cabbage inside."
"Okay, here are the two cracked ones for you. They have a lot of stuffing inside."
The girl opened the steamer and gave two, but in fact there were only two buns on this level, and each of the buns on the bottom level was one size smaller than these two.
The old beggar saw it and looked at him as usual.
"Snapped"
It was almost dusk, so he stood up, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, and walked step by step towards the Chenghuang Temple. It was sheltered from the wind and rain, and was probably the best place for a mortal to stay.
However, he was old and frail, and could only sleep in front of the door. He could not fight for the straw-covered areas inside. Even the dogs and mice that came to rob would be killed and eaten.
Beggars are the most powerful.
…
Early in the morning, the old beggar came to the bridge again. The bun shop that got up early next to the bridge had almost sold out today.
"Cough cough cough"
Ding Yao's father seems to be old and has white hair. After walking for a few steps, his back will be wet with sweat and he will cough violently.
"Dad, you have lung disease. Let me take you to see a doctor."
"No, Yaoyao, I have to collect enough dowry for you to get married soon. I can't do it for my father...ahem."
"No, at worst, I won't get married."
"Then how will you live the rest of your life? After your mother left, I pulled you up with one hand just so that I could give your mother an explanation when I went underground."
"Otherwise, I will never die in peace."
"But... don't marry me into one of those merchant families. I think it's good to have a scholar. We have hundreds of fortunes and can support him in his scientific examination."
"Nowadays, Xu State in Dongzhou treats scholars very well. As long as he is admitted as a scholar, I will be able to support my husband and raise my children, and my life will be good."
"Okay, okay, then let's find a scholar."
…
On this day, perhaps in a good mood, Miss Ding Yao put a meat bun in his begging bowl.
"Old beggar, you have been on this bridge for several years. Why don't you leave? Is there anyone you miss here?"
"You don't know, I fell in love with a gentle scholar. He treated me well and said he would come back and marry me after I was hired and when he was in high school."
The old beggar met her eyes, and she felt vaguely familiar, but she felt that she should not know the man in front of her. She walked to the bridge, lifted up her skirt, and ran away happily.
"Old beggar, from now on I will give you a meat bun every day, and you must pray with me that my scholar will come back and marry me." (End of Chapter)
